A gravel path leads through to the former warehouse, currently used as a gym, although ideal for a separate office, if required. Further garden shed, and slate based al fresco eating area.

AGENT’S NOTE:
The property, over the last few years, has undergone a significant programme of improvements, including remodelling of the kitchen, inclusion of a new en suite shower, replaced with double-glazed windows. Also has had a new boiler and heating system and rewiring. The property now presents as a light and airy, stylish, period home, and viewing is strongly recommended.

AGENT’S NOTE:
Planning permission was granted under reference DC/22/1615/FUL for the conversion of the cart lodge to form annexe accommodation, one being a two-bedroom on the ground-floor, the other a first-floor bedsit approached by an external wooden staircase.
